British Design Fund works with ambitious British product start-ups who are ready to scale-up and build thriving stand-out businesses.
The Buckinghamshire start-up secured the backing to bring its flexible protection technology to market following rigorous safety testing.
"I had always found body protectors to be very uncomfortable, but my accident really hit home to me the importance of wearing one. When I started asking fellow riders about their experiences, I quickly found that most riders don’t wear one because they find them incredibly stiff and restrictive. That was a lightbulb moment for me."
British Design Fund backs the Bristol-based technology start-up as it expands its microplastic capture solutions.
"When I decided to try and come up with a way to tackle the microplastic problem, I didn’t have a lot of money. I’d left my job and we were living with my wife’s parents."
British Design Fund backs London-based Koalaa as the prosthetics maker expands its manufacturing capacity and international reach.
"We’re delighted to have the backing of British Design Fund and look forward to working with them as we scale-up and expand our operations in the UK, but also begin entering new markets across the world."
